On cpu hot remove a PFAULT CANCEL command is sent to the hypervisor which in turn will cancel all outstanding pfault requests that have been issued on that cpu (the same happens with a SIGP cpu reset). The result is that we end up with uninterruptible processes where the interrupt that would wake up these processes never arrives. In order to solve this all processes which wait for a pfault completion interrupt get woken up after a cpu hot remove. The worst case that could happen is that they fault again and in turn need to wait again.

Implement arch specific irqsafe_cpu ops. The arch specific ops do not disable/enable interrupts since that is an expensive operation. Instead we disable preemption and perform a compare and swap loop. Since on server distros (the ones we care about) preemption is disabled the preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair is a nop. In the end this code should be faster than the generic one. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Peter Oberparleiter authored
The concepts of VDSO and gcov-based profiling don't mix: the former includes kernel-provided code running in userspace, the latter adds instructions that modify counters in kernel data segments. On s390 this has not been a problem so far due to VDSO code being written in all-assembler which is exempt from gcov-based profiling. This could change in the future, so disable profiling excplicitly for VDSO code.

Remove the tape block device driver. It's not of real use but has already created some confusion when users wanted to access tape devices and used the block device nodes instead of the character device nodes. Also remove the whole tape documentation since it's completely outdated and we have the device drivers book which is the place where everything is properly documented.

The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case. Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines. The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been used to fetch the instruction. This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current noexec support.

In ccw_device_set_online we basically start path verification and wait for the device to reach a final state. If it turns out that the device has no useable path we schedule the deregistration of the device (which is still in an non-final state) and wake up the waiting process. The deregistration process will set a final state, but if the wake up happens to be prior to this, the device will hang forever in ccw_device_set_online. To fix this just set the final NOT_OPER state prior to the scheduled deregistration of the device.

The setup_smep function gets calle at resume time too, and is thus not a pure __init function. When marked as __init, it gets thrown out after the kernel has initialized, and when the kernel is suspended and resumed, the code will no longer be around, and we'll get a nice "kernel tried to execute NX-protected page" oops because the page is no longer marked executable.

Commit e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h. The skbuff list traversal still had them. Quoth David Miller: "Please just remove the prefetches. Those are modelled after list.h as I intend to eventually convert SKB list handling to "struct list_head" but we're not there yet. Therefore if we kill prefetches from list.h we should kill it from these things in skbuff.h too."

Linus Torvalds authored
I still happen to believe that I$ miss costs are a major thing, but sadly, -Os doesn't seem to be the solution. With or without it, gcc will miss some obvious code size improvements, and with it enabled gcc will sometimes make choices that aren't good even with high I$ miss ratios. For example, with -Os, gcc on x86 will turn a 20-byte constant memcpy into a "rep movsl". While I sincerely hope that x86 CPU's will some day do a good job at that, they certainly don't do it yet, and the cost is higher than a L1 I$ miss would be. Some day I hope we can re-enable this.
